Purpose: This year my class created Endangered Species of the Florida Everglades Vodcasts that were accessed through our classroom website. During the endangered species project, students worked in cooperative groups, conducted research via Net Books from a cart and created oral presentations. Next, using a Flip Video camera, groups created a digital video using a PowerPoint slide show as a backdrop on our interactive whiteboard. Completed digital videos were then posted on our classroom webpage on Edublogs.org.
B. Know that environmental conditions influence where and how people live.
• Identify how regional natural resources influence what people use.
• Explain the influence of climate on how and where people live.
